Abstract: Improvements to paper web material dispensers, particularly two roll tiss ue dispensers. A dispenser according to the invention is able to prevent access to a second or reserve roll of tissue until a first or dispensing roll is entirel y or substantially depleted. As a result, the tissue of the first roll must be us ed up, or substantially used up, before tissue from the second roll can be used, there by avoiding tissue waste. The dispenser of the invention can be used with reduc ed core tissue rolls, where each roll has first and second core sections that are spaced apart from each other to form a gap between facing ends thereof so that the total length of the core sections is less than the width of the tissue wound onto the core sections. The dispenser of the invention thus encourages the use of reduced core tissu e rolls, which results in a reduction of waste resulting from used tissue cores.</SDO AB>

Abstract: La présente invention concerne des procédés et un appareil de gestion d'une adresse IP affectée à un noeud mobile. Selon un mode de réalisation, le noeud mobile ajoute une extension à la demande d'enregistrement qui est envoyée à son agent local, laquelle indique que le noeud mobile demande l'utilisation de l'adresse IP préalablement affectée au noeud mobile pour une durée supplémentaire. Lorsque l'agent local reçoit la demande d'enregistrement, il indique si une cession sur l'adresse IP préalablement affectée au noeud mobile a été accordée par l'agent local pour une durée supplémentaire. Selon un autre mode de réalisation, l'agent local envoie un premier message de commande afin de déterminer si le noeud mobile continue à utiliser l'adresse IP. L'agent local détermine ensuite si un second message de commande a été reçu de manière à déterminer si le noeud mobile continu à utiliser l'adresse IP préalablement affectée au noeud mobile. La présente invention est de préférence mise en oeuvre lorsqu'un noeud mobile retourne vers son réseau domestique, ce qui permet ainsi au noeud mobile de retenir l'adresse IP qui lui est affectée.

Abstract: "Hook and Line" equipment is commonly used by first responders to move suspicious packages from random locations to a safe container or location. Within buildings constructed with wallboard, wall anchors for guiding the line are typically mounted by punching through the wall board or adhering to it, either way causing considerable damage and not providing a very secure anchor. The device of the invention bores a neat circular hole in the wallboard, which is easily repaired. The device also uses pivotal grips which reach inside the hole, the wallboard being clamped between these grips and an outside adjusting ring or shoulder of the anchor. This provides a secure anchor which is easily removed when the task is complete.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système de refroidissement. Ledit système comprend une console et un dispositif de refroidissement de tête. Un opérateur applique le dispositif de refroidissement de tête sur la tête d'un patient susceptible d'être atteint d'une lésion ischémique. La console fournit un fluide de refroidissement dans un espace de circulation de fluides situé entre le dispositif de refroidissement et la tête du patient sous une pression manométrique positive. Un contact direct entre le fluide de refroidissement et la tête du patient assure l'induction relativement rapide d'une hypothermie générale chez le patient, réduisant ainsi au minimum ou empêchant la lésion ischémique chez le patient. La console permet également d'éliminer l'air d'un canal placé près d'un bord intérieur du dispositif de refroidissement, à l'aide d'une pression manométrique négative. L'élimination de l'air du canal assure l'étanchéité du bord du dispositif de refroidissement sur la tête du patient, notamment des parties du canal en contact avec les cheveux de la tête du patient, et réduit au minimum la fuite du fluide de refroidissement au-delà du bord du dispositif de refroidissement.
